Alternator choice?

I have OO ga wire (I think) to ground on engine block and to the starter solenoid. The factory starter wire going to the starter. Batt in stock location front right of car and alternator wire is factory whatever that is 10-12ga?

Battery is 550CCA and new last year.

Edit: Went and took a look and then took a couple pictures. Forgot that the original wiring also includes a plug and significantly smaller wire from Alt to Batt than I thought.

Yes, it may be ugly, but at least it's slow....no, wait....lol!
